Hello,
	There is a new post on The Chess Mind.  You can read it at:

It begins:

	With one round to go, Peter Leko has leaped into
	the lead, defeating Jan Gustafsson with surprising
	ease with the black pieces. Gustafsson's novelty,
	16.Qb3, left him doubled, backward pawns on the
	b-file after 16...Qxb3 17.axb3, and at the end of
	the day that weakness proved decisive. Leko's
	technique was good enough, though his error on move
	35 gave his opponent a chance to put up more
	resistance. Leko thus leads with 4 points, half a
	point ahead of Gustafsson and Ian Nepomniachtchi,
	who managed to hold on with Black against Vladimir
	Kramnik....
